EOX has been designed with accessibility in mind. It starts with the use of mechanical buttons in all our control panels, rather than touch-sensitive panels or touch screens, the ergonomic design of components such as handrails and continues with standard-included features that ensure that passengers with physical limitations or disabilities can use the elevator. In other words: Every EOX elevator fulfils the EN 81-70 norm – but you can also go way beyond these minimum requirements and enhance accessibility in your EOX elevator and your building to the highest standards.
Enhanced accessibility configurations
Second vertical COP
Adding a second vertical COP improves comfort and passenger flow with very wide or very deep cabins. EOX offers a variety of placement configurations (left/right, front/rear, centred/displaced) to ensure all passengers entering the cabin can reach their destination button. A dual COP configuration is available with Edge or IL Variable.
XL Horizontal COP
The XL Horizontal COP is an auxiliary cabin operating panel with extra-large push buttons. It’s positioned on the side wall opposite of the main COP at a height of 850 mm. Stainless steel casing with up to eight destination buttons with tactile symbols and braille lettering. Available with all cabin design lines.
XL LOP
The XL LOP landing operating panel is the companion to the XL Horizontal COP. It’s flush-mounted on the building wall and can hold one or two extra-large push buttons with tactile symbols and audiovisual confirmation signal. Dimensions are 80x252x2 mm.
“Wheelchair button”
Technically referred to as extended door opening time, the “wheelchair button” can be combined with Series 50 landing operating panels or added in a separate casing next to the main LOP on the building wall. When pushed, the doors will stay open longer to allow for comfortable boarding.
Inductive loop
Fitting your EOX elevator with an induction loop will enable hearing-impaired passengers to receive audio transmissions from the voice announcement and emergency call systems directly to their hearing aid. An icon on the COP indicates the feature.
